<h1 class="topictitle1">Restoring Nutanix VMs</h1>
<div><p>This section describes how to restore a backed-up VM to the original location or a new location.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Context</h4><div class="p">The <span>OceanProtect</span> allows you to restore VMs to the original or a new location using backup copies, replication copies (restoration to the original location is not supported), reverse replication copies (restoration to the original location is not supported), cascaded replication copies (restoration to the original location is not supported), archive copies (restoration to the original location is not supported after a replication copy is archived), or imported copies.<ul><li>Restoration to the original location<p>If you restore a VM to the original location, the system creates a VM in the path of the original VM (that is, the cluster or host to which the original VM belongs) and fully restores the backup data to the new VM.</p>
</li><li>Restoration to a new location<p>For restoration to a new location, the system performs full restoration and restores the backup data to a specified new path. That is, the user specifies the host or cluster where the new VM is located and the corresponding storage pool.</p>
</li></ul>
